Two new drive-through food distributions

Subject: [Sacramento Refugee Forum] Two new drive-through food distributions

 

In response to the increased demand that COVID-19 has created for food access within Sacramento County, Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services is hosting two new drive-through distributions. In order to follow social distancing guidelines, these food distributions will be "touchless." Attendees will not leave their cars. Food will be placed directly in the trunks of vehicles. 

The two drive-through distributions will be at the following locations:

Encina High School1400 Bell Street Sacramento, CA 95825

• When: Tuesdays
• Frequency: Weekly, until further notice
• Time: 2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. (or until all food is gone)
• Please do not line up before 1:45 p.m.
• Distribution style: One-way drive-through distribution. Enter distribution via parking lot entrance closest to Greer Elementary (cars should approach heading West on Hurley Way and turning right on Bell Street).

Christian Brothers High School
4315 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Sacramento, CA 95820

• When: Thursdays
• Frequency: Weekly, until further notice
• Time: 2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. (or until all food is gone)
• Please do not line up before 1:45 p.m.
• Distribution style: One-way drive-through distribution. Enter distribution via parking lot entrance closest to 20th Avenue (cars should approach heading North on Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. and should turn right into the school parking lot). 

Community members unable to attend may designate someone to pick up food on their behalf.

• Community members unable to attend a distribution in person, can fill out an Alternative Pick Up Form that they will send with the individual picking up on their behalf.
• Individuals picking up on behalf of another will be able to pick up for a maximum of two households, including themselves.

Attendees must meet the following income guidelines

The food distribution is open only to households that meet the following income guidelines. This will be a "self-certifying" food distribution, meaning that families will not need to show proof of income or provide I.D. to receive food assistance. Families simply need to verbally verify that they meet the income guidelines.
